DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 04/02/2012 3:38 pm The color is unnatural. I'd guess a combination of chemical cleaning and polishing. Report this Post to the Staff

Sometimes lighting can have an effect on the true color of a coin, but the surfaces look rubbed to me, enough for me to think it is not natural.

52Raymo Pillar of the Community United States 8515 Posts	Posted 04/02/2012 5:11 pm It's too bad, the penny has such good bones left and he just ruined it. Almost all of his Indians were like that and he usually got around 9.95 for em. People just weren't taking his bait. Oregon coin geek.....* GO BEAVS ! ! ! * Report this Post to the Staff
